'67 Impala SS
Harold Quesada
Tampa, FL
He's owned 79 Chevrolets so far, mostly musclecars with Rat motors, but this gorgeous black '67 Impala SS is Harold Quesada's first fullsize Chevy. Under the hood of the B-body you'll find a powerful 427 fitted with oval-port heads, an Edelbrock Performer intake, a Holley 770 Avenger carburetor, and a Lunati 554 hydraulic cam. Harold completed the Impala's restoration in just over a year and even sprayed that deep black paint himself. Shifting chores are assigned to a TH350 automatic that spins a 3.36 cog, and those big rims are Coy's wheels, measuring 17x8 up front and 18x8 at the rear. Inside, cool air is supplied with a Vintage A/C unit, and a full set of Falken rubber grips the road.
Green With Envy
'69 Camaro SS
Brandan Singer
Port St. Lucie, FL
Brandan Singer's '69 Camaro SS 396 was originally a 350-horse big-block, but it now packs a bigger punch beneath the cowl induction hood. Not content with the cast pistons and docile cam, Brandan pulled the motor and contracted the guys at Redline Automotive Competition Engines to renovate the Mark IV engine with a set of 0.030-inch-over Ross pistons, Childs and Albert rods, Edelbrock aluminum heads and intake, a Lunati hydraulic-roller cam, and a 750 Holley carb. The MSD ignition system lights the mixture, and Hooker Super Comp headers and a Flowmaster exhaust system expel the spent fumes.
X Marks The Spot
'69 Nova SS
Frank Pulizzi
Merrick, NY
From the outside, Frank Pulizzi's '69 X-body appears to be just another clean Nova. Pop the hood, though, and you'll find a treasure, including a stout 468ci big-block. SK Speed assembled the 468 with ported 990 GM heads, a Comp Xtreme Energy cam with 598/598 lift and 252/260 degrees of duration at 0.050, an Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake, and a BG 1100 Silver Claw carburetor. For added fun, Frank installed a one-stage NOS Cheater system. The rims are 17x8 Torque-Thrust- style wheels, KYB shocks are mounted all around, and at the rear you'll find a set of monoleaf rear springs with a set of CalTracs bars. Suspension Technique sway bars are enlisted up front and out back to help the handling, and a Keisler Tremec TKO five-speed transmission is used for long-distance cruising.
